That 230:1 ratio does NOT take into account the shear numbers of force multipliers available to Them.

FreeFor has force multipliers, too. We have automated drones with cameras. That's right. You too can have one from Amazon.com for about $300.

We have night vision, too, of varying grades. A simple low-light camera is available for less than $200. Very similar night vision monocles to those the US Military has can be had by private individuals for less than $2000. I have a buddy at work who has one, mostly for feral hog hunting. It is seriously awesome to drive with one with headlights off on a moonless night, not that I would know anything about that :-)

We also have communications force multipliers available to us. Munitions-level encryption is available in a battery-powered internet router, available at your local computer store for less than $100. Buy a few of these, configure them with rotating-key WPA security, and use iPhones or other WiFi-type devices to communicate in your AO through them. If the crypt keys come from a one-time pad, they are unbreakable without capturing the book or whatever we used for a one-time pad. A set of copies of a particular version of a pocket Bible would make an excellent one-time pad: not only are Bibles not common among OpFor, they have thin pages, making for lots of one-time-use encryption keys in a short space.

We have force multipliers. We just have to start inventorying them, and practicing.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

In theory, and 200 years ago, you are of course quite right, but Marxists don’t hesitate to oppose, and will use drones to do it. The things are on college campuses. You hardly need human enforcers to act against gun owners today. Drones ware becoming available and retrievable, in the event there is reluctance by some drone shooter.

Why are drones never addressed in these inspiring threads? Obumma would sell his 53% on the idea to off all of us. Heck, these voters of his ate suggesting it here and there now.

Now back to that walk in the woods and the snarling beast in the dark. Hopefully the truth has thrown enough illumination your way to see that youve been treed by a Chihuahua. Imagine a 230 pound man versus a 1 pound purse dog. Picture a large football stadium, completely sold out. The crowd versus those on the field and sidelines is about a 230:1 ratio. Imagine a head on collision between a sport bike and a fully loaded 18 wheeler. That is a 230:1 weight ratio. Take an ice cube from your freezer and hit it with an Oxy-Acetylene torch. That is a 230:1 temperature ratio. Take heart, free Americans, our Founding Fathers have got your back.

Amen. The only thing they have more of than us is talking heads in pop culture and the MSM. The ratio is reversed, there! Great post, SENTINEL.
